jawo Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 How can I add a sub- folder in the pane on the left side, under a country? Thanks for help. Can't find a solution my self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wchettel Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I have not tried this but... open the "Stamp Data Manager" (TOOLS > STAMP DATA MANAGER), then read the second paragraph of instructions in the center of the window. Maybe that will do what you're asking about. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawo Posted May 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Thank's wchettel. Your solution worked, but now I got another problem related to the first one. How can I transfer the new sub folder from the Stamp Data Manager to the pane on the left side. I have Norway on the left side, and I want this new sub folder attached to the main folder, so if I click on Norway, I will see all the different subfolders attached to Norway. I am very grateful for the help I receive. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wchettel Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Jawo, I have noticed several times that changes I make do not take effect until I exit StampManager and re-start it. Have you tried that? Also, maybe you need to add a stamp. Have you tried adding a stamp to your new category via the "Stamps" tab along the top of the Data Manager window? Good luck!

jawo Posted May 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 wchettel. Hi again. I tried you suggestions, but with no luck. I thought this should be an easy task, like a drag and drop as you can do with most programs. Look at the picture. What I want to do is to move all the Australia sub categories from the right side to put them in the Australia folder on the left side. I also want to do that with Norway. I assume it will be possible to do this. To add more sub categories under the main category, or have I started something that is not possible in this program. Have a nice evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawo Posted May 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 wchettel . The problem is solved. I deleted StampManage, and reinstalled the program, and did as you suggested and added a stamp. Then the sub-group appeared on the pane on the left. I had some trouble with last upgrade of the StampMange, but now it is OK Thank you for helping me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wchettel Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Jawo, there is no need to drag or move folders (Categories) from the Data Manager to the Collections panel on the left. The StampManage database for the stamps includes all the info about the category that a stamp belongs in. When you add an Air Post stamp via the Add Stamp(s) dialog, an Air Post category (or folder as you call it) will appear in the Collections panel under the Country the stamp belongs to. The Collections panel on the left only shows the categories (or folders) which have had stamps added to them. Just start adding some stamps of varying categories and you'll see the category folders appear. I suppose I misunderstood your original question. I thought that you were attempting to add a category for some special non-standard stamp item. I hope this helps to clarify your "folder" questions. Also, I only collect USA Commemorative stamps, so I am using StampManage USA 2018. I do not see all of those countries that your screenshot showed, but it helped me to understand what you were attempting to do. I guess it's true that "a picture is worth a thousand words".

jawo Posted May 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Wchettel, Sorry I've expressed myself in a bad way.

Jawo, no offense taken. You did an adequate job explaining your question. I just misunderstood your intent. The screenshot got me back on the right track. I'm glad you got it worked out.
